Green Gem — Detailed Guide
A gem tied to Aberration
Green Gem is a crafting resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki dates it to version 275.0 and says it was introduced with Aberration; the wiki also places it on Fjordur, Crystal Isles, Genesis: Part 2, Valguero, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 1. Our records also list The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction, Lost Colony, The Center, Astraeos and Ragnarok. The in-game description: "This strange Gem is used as a crafting ingredient in primitive tools and saddles." It is a separate item from the Fragmented Green Gem.
Mining it and other sources
On Aberration the gems are mined from green crystal formations spread across the map, with either a 
Stone Pick or 
Metal Pick. Debris left by an earthquake can hold them, and 
Roll Rats sometimes leave some behind where they have been digging. Picking up gems a Roll Rat has dug out makes it aggressive toward you. On Genesis: Part 2 they come from loot crates and can be gathered from obsidian asteroids. Across the games, our loot data counts 64 crate types that can contain Green Gem, such as Aberration Blue, Aberration Green and Aberration Purple along with their bonus versions.
What Green Gem goes into
The recipe lists differ between the two games. In ASE our records count 7 of them:
Basilisk Saddle: 45
Roll Rat Saddle: 45
Element: 20
Tek Phase Pistol: 15
Gasoline (Gas-Crafted): 5
Climbing Pick: 4
Glow Stick: 1
In ASA the count is 2: 
Element (Chunk) takes 20 and Gasoline (Gas-Crafted) takes 5.
Weight and stacking
A single gem weighs 0.5. Gems stack to 100, and a full stack weighs 50.
